The theme of the proposed MArch studio is to investigate and explore the use of timber as the basic construction material for tall buildings. We want to engage with the idea of a metropolitan timber tower within the city of Cardiff as well as with computational design methods to analyse and design such architecture.
The studio will be concerned with the urban dimension of such a tower and its impact on the immediate and wider context, but also its technical resolution to the level of constructive detailing. The tower will host a multifunctional programme including public functions. The appropriate mix of occupation will be determined by the context analysis.
